François Couperin's Pièces de violes comes to life in this deeply expressive new recording by La Bellemont, which showcases the viola da gamba at the peak of its emotional and rhetorical power. The works from 1728 belong to Couperin's last publications and combine the refinement of French Baroque with striking intimacy, elegance and imagination. Through two contrasting suites - from the tender melancholy of the Prélude and the Sarabande in E minor to the radiant brilliance of the suite in A major - the album explores a world of subtle emotion, poetic silence and richly colored harmony. Ensemble: viola da gamba (Johanna Rose, Sara Ruiz), theorbo (Rafael Muñoz), Baroque guitar and harpsichord (Laura Puerto).
